Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife
Chapter 1724

Chapter 1724

As if afraid that they would not believe her, Sherry added, “His name was also signed on the contract. I've already taken it to the government office for further view.”

Everyone was in utter disbelief, Ron and Caden were especially flabbergasted.

After a while, someone chuckled heartily and remarked, “I didn't think that Young Master Sager would be the one to pull it off, truly amazing! Two projects in one go!”

Sherry glanced at Ron and Aiden while acknowledging Carl's efforts. “Truly amazing, I agree.”

She looked around and wondered where Carl was. She had come into today's meeting fully intending to let Carl take the spotlight and show what he was capable of. However, he was nowhere to be seen and would not even answer her calls.

The meeting resumed when someone at the table mentioned, “Alright, let's focus on these two major projects going forward.”

“Certainly, this is a big deal. We're going to have to schedule more meetings later on and work out the finer details.”

“That's right.”

After most of them had presented their monthly reports, Lisa interjected, “Alright, let's wrap this up as quick as we can so the lot of you can get back to work.”

“Alright, President Lisa.”

Within an hour, everything was concluded.

Lisa dismissed the meeting.

Sherry stood up and exchanged eye contact with Lisa, a faint smile hanging on her lips. With that, they stepped out of the conference room together with the other members involved in the meeting. As soon as they walked outside, they crossed paths with Aiden.

Aiden lowered his voice and asked, “President Sherry, was it truly Carl who handled the negotiations for these projects by himself?”

He made sure that he still spoke just loud enough so that people nearby could hear. As expected, many of them deliberately stopped and began listening in on their conversation.

Sherry smiled and assured him calmly, “His name is on the contract along with the date of signing. You'll find that during the date of signing, most of us were busy with other tasks, myself included. If you still don't believe me, just read the contract yourself.”

Aiden was baffled.

The ones who still had lingering doubts were utterly convinced by this point and quickly marched away.

Sherry was going to head back to her office, but Aiden came up to her again and stopped her with a pandering smile. “President Sherry, I must apologize for what happened back there.

"Even though I ruined your engagement with Carl, I must say that it could be a blessing in disguise in hindsight. You see, a wonderful woman of your stature should aim for someone better than the likes of Carl. Your ex-husband was the perfect fit for you.”

When he brought up Sherry’s ex-husband, a viperous look gleamed in his eyes.

Sherry smiled courteously. “Aiden, before John showed up, you said completely different things about our engagement.”

Aiden stiffened.

Sherry confronted him. “I remember you saying that a woman of my background who was once married and had children did not deserve Carl and that there was no justification that I should be allowed to wed into the Sagers. As a matter of fact, it was only two days ago, do you happen to have amnesia?”

Aiden turned pale. “Sherry, you..."

Sherry cocked an eyebrow. “What about me?”

"You better watch your tone or else you'll regret it.” Aiden hissed, his face turning black as he did his best to conceal the venomous spite in his voice. “It's only a matter of time before my family takes over Sager Corporation. Just because Carl lucked out on those two major deals, that doesn't give him the right to take charge around here.

“Lisa was an old widow and an outsider to boot. Most of the shareholders have been waiting to get rid of her. If you know what's good for you, you'd switch to our side before it's too late. If you humor me enough, I just might consider letting you keep your position after I take over as the president of the corporation. Consider it my token of respect toward your husband.”

He made these claims as if he had already won and as if he had already taken over the corporation in his mind.

Sherry smiled sarcastically. “Aiden, where did you get all this confidence from? You, the next president of Sager Corporation?”

Aiden glared at her venomously and warned her gravely. “Sherry, you better show some respect.” Sherry only scoffed as she drew a step closer to him. She bore a sharp look into his eyes and mocked him, “Forget about you, not even your father has what it takes to man a corporation as large as Sager Corporation.”
